Kim Joon is a famous South Korean rapper, songwriter and actor who has grown to international fame thanks to his role in the popular TV series "Boys Over Flowers". A recognized genius and a lonely poet - in such a halo he appears before his fans …
Childhood
Kim Joon was born on February 3, 1984 in Gyeonggi, South Korea. From an early age he was a shy and silent child with a good artistic taste.
He recalls that in childhood he was very lonely and the only thing that could at least slightly brighten up this emptiness was numerous books and novels. Books were his friends, teachers, and wise mentors. He could indulge in reading for hours on end, swallowing one page after another with rapture. Literature gave him sensuality and fullness of life.
Kim was a diligent student, all the teachers of the soul did not look for him. His innermost dream in childhood was to become a great writer.
The beginning of a musical career
However, when he was introduced to American rap music, everything changed. Kim was inspired by music and began to compose texts for his own project. He also selflessly began to write poetry that made him famous in his final years of college.
He was always an excessive thinker, which, according to him, was one of the main reasons for his nihilistic approach to life and low self-esteem. A pessimist by nature, Kim never thought he could be a musician. Changes occurred only when he began to communicate with professional rappers who approved of his work and supported him in further development.
One way or another, everything went well. After sorting out all his personal barriers and fears, Kim quickly joined the T-Max group, and they began to perform on stage. That is how his musical career started.
Usually, musical groups in South Korea do not exist for long, because the participants, becoming famous, begin simultaneously an acting career. And in the future they prefer the latter.
The same thing happened with the T-Max.
Television and universal recognition
Kim received a tempting offer to become a star in Boys Over Flowers. It was a proposal that is not rejected. It radically turned his life around and brought “young talent” national and international fame.
In addition to participating as an actor, he was involved as a musician in the soundtrack for the series. The single thundered with tremendous success, which only produced firewood in the stove. His popularity flared up rapidly.
It took Kim quite a bit of time to become a national favorite. The army of his fans grew and multiplied. Not stopping there, he continued his performances in the shows to which he was invited. But the TV people didn’t give up so easily, bombarding young talent with offers.
As a result, he starred in a number of successful series from a commercial point of view: Detectives in Need, Endless Love and City of the Sun, which only strengthened his position on the movie Olympus. Now he actively combines music with television, creating soundtracks for projects in which he plays.
